Harpo Hair was established in February 2014, with its first store opening in Dendy Village, Hampton Street. Since opening, the salon has expanded to two locations with the most recent located on Were Street, Brighton.
Harpo Hair is a boutique salon, which places the utmost importance on the little details making each visit special and unique to the client.

Both salons pride themselves on their friendly and professional staff, who are regularly training to keep up to date with industry trends and techniques, as well as their carefully curated product range from Eleven, Kevin Murphy, Kerastase and L'oreal Colour.
Posey has been working in hair salons honing her skills since she was 14 years old, but always had the dream of owning her own. After winning 'Apprentice of the Year' in 2009, she knew her next goal would be working towards her lifelong goal of opening up her perfect salon – a salon in which the little things matter and customers come first.
Posey opened her first salon located on Hampton Street in Brighton in February 2014, which focused heavily on stocking the best brands in the industry and continuously training her staff to be up to date with industry trends and techniques. However, the biggest focus of the salon for Posey was ensuring that customers felt a little bit of luxury every time they visited. It is this passion for her customers which has enables Posey to open her second salon in 2017, located on Were Street, Brighton.
Posey specialises in both colouring and cutting and believes in constant education to ensure our clients get the best experience possible by truly understanding cutting edge techniques and trends. From the moment you walk in the door, to the moment you leave Posey's number one priority is that you not only have great hair, but that you have enjoyed every element of your experience leaving relaxed and rejuvenated.

Law on Stealing Plants in NSW - Criminal Defence Lawyers Australia
Law on Stealing Plants in NSW
By Criminal Defence Lawyers Australia on 02/05/2020
By Sahar Adatia and Jimmy Singh.
Australians spend a considerable amount of time and money landscaping their gardens and adding a touch of green to their homes.
Not only do plants look pleasing, they can also improve air quality and have positive impacts for people's mental health.
It's a trend too that's seen widespread popularity for cafes and restaurants, with nurseries trying to keep up with demand as owners decorate their premises.
Alas, plants don't always come cheap, and sometimes, the temptation to steal can be all too real, especially when it comes to green thumbs of the kleptomaniac breed.
Take, for example, a Sydney man who allegedly decided he would pilfer two expensive pot plants from the powerful and feared publicist Roxy Jacenko, which were displayed in the garden outside her Sweaty Betty PR office.
The plants – two fiddle leaf fig trees – were valued at $900, leaving the PR mogul disgusted and on quite an adventure to track the man down.
CCTV Footage Captures Man Casually Walking Up and Stealing Ms Jacenko's Pot Plants; Rapidly Tracks Him Down
In June 2019, Ms Jacenko was dismayed to learn of the disappearance of her two fiddle leaf figs, which she quickly discovered had been stolen from outside her Paddington business, thanks to CCTV footage.
The saga unfolded on her Instagram page, where she shared CCTV footage of the man strolling up and pinching the plants.
Fittingly, she captioned the video writing, "Now. What the actual F¥&K," she captioned the post. "This bloke just stole my fiddle leaf figs whilst I was giving them some sun and water?! Know the culprit? Comment below so I can go and collect them."
With the help of locals, Ms Jacenko managed to make a successful identification from the CCTV video and then chose to confront the man at his workplace to demand her stolen fiddle leaf fig trees be returned.
During a shift the man had at a local thrift shop, which turned out to be just a short walk away from the PR office, the then 39-year-old approached her thief face-to-face, expressing her sheer fury and turning into the fiery publicity tycoon she is renowned for.
The clash was filmed by one of Ms Jacenko's Sweaty Betty PR employees and uploaded to Instagram for the viewing pleasure of her then 233,000 followers.
Perpetrator Claims He Only Took Fig Trees Because Plants Were "Outside for Ages"
In an arguably laugh-out-loud moment during the furious encounter, the perpetrator claimed he only took the fig trees from outside Ms Jacenko's office because the plants were "outside for ages", leading him to believe they did not belong to anyone.
As expected, the PR mogul responded dumbfoundedly that the plants were obviously outside because they need sun.
"You stole my plants! I'm disgusted," she yelled, to which the man replied saying, "I know! I'm so sorry!"
"So, do you want to give me the plants back?!" the irate business owner fired back.
Moments later, the man proceeded to return Ms Jacenko's two fiddle leaf fig trees back to her.
In the video, Ms Jacenko established the plants were like family members to her and emphasised the exorbitant price tag they came with.
Prior to this, she had shared a video of her son, Hunter, finding two leaves that were left behind on the footpath from the fig trees, describing them as "evidence" in the case.
The Law on Stealing Plants in NSW
The offence of larceny is also known as stealing.
kleptomaniacs are a rare breed.
Nevertheless, whether you identify as one or not, in NSW, stealing plants and the like from gardens is against the law.
Should you be guilty of committing the act, the offence carries a maximum penalty of up to six months in jail and/or a fine of $550, and is dealt with in the Local Court. It also carries a criminal conviction, unless a section 10 sentence is imposed.
In NSW, the law on stealing plants etc from gardens is outlined in section 520 of the Crimes Act 1900.
Section 520 makes clear that a person who steals, or destroys, or damages with intent to steal, any plant, root, fruit, or vegetable produce, growing in any garden, orchard, pleasure-ground, nursery-ground, hothouse, greenhouse, or conservatory, is guilty.
Additionally, it is also a criminal offence to steal plants that are not growing however are being used, or that are going to be used, for food, medicine, dyeing or distillation.
Any such offences carry a maximum penalty of a $220 fine.

Donor Spotlight: Aimee Yarber
Aimee Sullivan Yarber
Refuge. That is the word that Aimee Sullivan Yarber uses when she thinks back to her time spent studying at the R.M. Cooper Library as a Clemson student. It is also the same word she uses to describe books – a refuge from the humdrum of daily life.
It was that feeling, that sense of comfort and safety of libraries and of books, that led her to a career as a middle school librarian, so that she could offer that same feeling to her students.
Yarber graduated from Clemson in 1998 with a bachelor's degree in English. She originally had dreams of a career in publishing but realized that would be difficult for her to pursue, based on the location of most jobs in that field. Instead, she started out with a career in communication and public relations, working as assistant director of public information at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
After she and her husband Chad – who graduated from Clemson in 1999 with an accounting degree – had children, Yarber left the workforce for a while to focus on raising their two daughters. During that time, she decided she wanted to change career paths, so she enrolled at Valdosta State to earn her Master of Library and Information Science degree, which she completed in 2013.
"I decided I wanted to be a librarian. I felt like it was a way to combine my love of books with a career that played more to my strengths," she said.
Yarber is now the Library Media Technology Specialist at Southwest Middle School in Savannah, Ga., a position she has held for the past nine years. In 2020, she was named Teacher of the Year for her school.
"I love getting to share a book that I am excited about with a student and then have that student come back to me after reading it and ask, 'Do you have more like this?,'" she said. "I specifically chose middle school because I feel like that is where you lose kids' interest in reading. In elementary school, they're all pretty excited about going to the library. When they come in as 6th graders, they still have that excitement. By the time they reach 8th grade, they are checking out so few books. I wanted to make a difference, and I felt like this is the age where I could make the biggest difference."
Yarber is also making a difference for the Clemson Libraries. She and Chad are annual donors to the libraries, as well as to the Wilbur O. and Ann Powers College of Business and to IPTAY.
"I wanted to donate to something that was near and dear to my heart, something that benefitted me and other students like me," Yarber said.
Yarber also serves on the Libraries Advocacy Board, which allows her to be even more involved in shaping the future for the libraries. She said when she was in graduate school working towards her MLIS degree, she learned a lot about academic and R-1 libraries. She wants to help Clemson Libraries move forward to reach its goal of becoming an R-1 library.

"There was a lot of talk about the N.C. State library and how strong it was, and I thought to myself, 'where does Clemson fall in this?' Everyone has pride in where they went to college, and one of the things you take pride in is the library. I want to have pride in my library competing at the R-1 level," she said.
Yarber said she has enjoyed seeing the changes in the libraries over the years since her graduation, and she is excited to see what comes next.
"I love how the space has evolved, but it still has so much further to go."

In an evidence-based health care environment, healthcare professions require a sustainable research culture to remain relevant. At present however, there is not a mature research culture across the chiropractic profession largely due to deficiencies in research capacity and leadership, which may be caused by a lack of chiropractic teaching programs in major universities. As a response to this challenge the Chiropractic Academy for Research Leadership, CARL, was created with the aim of develop a global network of successful early-career chiropractic researchers under the mentorship of three successful senior academics from Australia, Canada, and Denmark. The program centres upon an annual week-long program residential that rotates continental locations over the first three-year cycle and between residentials the CARL fellows work on self-initiated research and leadership initiatives. Through a competivite application process, the first cohort was selected and consists of 13 early career researchers from five professions in seven countries who represent diverse areas of interests of high relevance for chiropractic. The first residential was held in Odense, Denmark, with the second being planned in April 2018 in Edmonton, Canada, and the final residential to be held in Sydney, Australia in 2019.

Fear Eats Life, Cockpit
by Diana Miranda
"Today you can get rid of your fear", Strangers Like Me Collective promises. As the audience arrives at Fears Eat Life, premiering at the Voila! Europe Festival, they find a sheet of paper on each seat inviting them to write down what they're most afraid of and throw it on stage. And so, this interactive cabaret show, written and directed by Timna Krenn, begins before the lights go down. To throw one's fears away to the power of theatrical catharsis seems meaningful enough, and the prospect of having performers enacting them back to us in a dark comedy improv seems like something to look forward to.
Sitting on a small, round table, a poised figure with their back to the audience stands out centre stage, at the end of a red carpet. Fear itself greets the audience with a cabaret number as a high-heeled master of ceremonies (Jeremy Chevillotte), flashing a pair of long, red eyelashes and gliding with haughty confidence around the stage under a pool of crimson light.
The performances take a while to warm up during the opening number, but through it all Fear acts as a magnetic centre. Fear's tone is mocking yet warm, and they address the audience with the same condescending tone that they use to address Mary (Maeve Elmore), a frequent customer at Fear's laboratory (although the feeling is more that of a life coaching clinic). Mary's furrowed eyebrows and fidgeting movements bring comic anxiety to the show, although she falls a bit behind in the performance's energy. Mary is addicted to her relationship with Fear and manages to convince them to stay around. That is, until she meets Leon (Fabrice-Edouard La Roche-Francoeur), whose vitality infuses the show with a ready-to-go flow. Leon's performance is sparked with amusing gestures, like remembering a dreadful day at P.E. (Example of fear #1: volleyballs) and his anxious eating of crisps. His positivity, however, makes him a juicy prospect for Fear's laboratory and inspires Mary to break free.
The musical numbers add flavour to the show, but their performances still lean towards the insipid. The actors seem to have a hard time synchronising with the music (Example of fear #2: turning up the speaker's volume), and they refrain from belting it out. The show also gains flavour thanks to a section in French that aligns with Strangers Like Me Collective international perspective and brings delight to the audience as we watch a confused Mary oui-ing her way around it as she struggles to get Leon's attention, despite Fear's boycotting attempts.
It is up to the audience to decide who will win Leon over. Fear asks the public to vote by giving their most frightful screams to determine the show's ending, but a momentary pause suggests that the audience is not quite there yet in terms of participation (Example of fear #3: breaking the silence in theatre). Krenn's writing demonstrates research and reflection, infusing the MC with a confident grasp of what people are afraid of. Fear's comic remarks land smoothly among the audience, who respond with giggles and playful whispering. Although the MC succeeds in connecting with the room, the overall interaction that the show promises seems to only go halfway, as we see the performers reading out some of the audience's fears and dismissing them without further action. Also, during the final improv section, the thread gets tangled up in a way that makes the audience's choice feel more like a disruption than a contribution. The actors are funny individually, but the interaction is bumpy as a trio.
Fear East Life offers an entertaining angle about confronting our fears. However, it leans towards comedy to the point that it fails to explore in depth the mental health issues related to fear that the play hints to. There's still some brewing, but in a time when the pandemic has populated people's thoughts with fear, there is value in a show that offers the opportunity to explore (and perhaps laugh away) what our inner MC has to say.
Fear Eats Life runs through 19 November.

Interview with Essential Tremor Patient Treated with MR-guided Focused Ultrasound
A front page story in the March 11, 2011 edition of the Richmond Times Dispatch featured an interview with Billy R. Williams, the first patient in a new clinical trial funded by the Focused Ultrasound Surgery Foundation. The first in the world clinical trial is asessing the safety and effectiveness of MR-guided focused ultrasound in treating essential tremor, a progressively debilitating condition that causes uncontrollable trembling in the hands and other areas of the body. Also interviewed was W. Jeffrey Elias, M.D., the University of Virginia neurosurgeon who performed the procedure and is the study's principal investigator.
In the report, Williams is quoted as saying, "I feel very good." He also explained, "I wanted these tremors taken care of so badly I really had no fear of having it done." Click below to read the full story.

LJ Delegates Set Conditions for US Military Bases
KABUL - Some participants of the traditional Loya Jirga (LJ) on Thursday supported the creation of US military bases in Afghanistan if the conditions set by the Karzai administration were met.
The grand tribal assembly on the strategic cooperation agreement with the US and setting up a mechanism for peace dialogue with Afghan militants entered the second day on Thursday.
The second day's proceedings began with the creation of dozens of committees, which will debate the pros and cons of the agreement at the Polytechnic Institute.
Forty bodies were set up to discuss political, economic and military aspects of the deal. Copies of the draft agreement were distributed to Jirga members on the opening day.
Members will submit their written recommendations to committee heads. The suggestions will be thoroughly studied by the Jirga chairman and participants before being signed.
A representative of the nomadic Kochi tribe, Ahmada Gul Kochi, told Pajhwok Afghan News establishment of the US bases be linked to an end to night raid and house searches. He also called for closing down US-controlled prisons in the country.
The bases would help improve the security situation in addition to fuelling Afghanistan's economic growth, he believed. "Currently mired in complex problems, Afghanistan needs strong national unity," the participant said.
Another member, Gul Badshah Majidi, also favored the conditional creation of American military centers. He wanted the proposed bases to be set up away from airports and residential areas.
"If Americans plan to use our airports as bases, they should provide an alternative for us," Majidi remarked, hoping the deal would strengthen the war-hit country economically and politically.
He suggested the US bases be set up in border areas to prevent terrorists' infiltration into the country. "Afghanistan has been forced by neighbors' undue interference into signing the strategic agreement with the US," he continued.
Amanullah Kamrani, a representative from southern Ghazni province, opined Washington must be asked for political, social, economic and military assistance in return for the bases. He also urged a timeframe for the military centers.
A day earlier, President Hamid Karzai told participants of the Loya Jirga that Afghanistan's relationship with the US would be one between two independent countries, saying he wanted national sovereignty to be protected at all costs.
Karzai hinted at Afghanistan's willingness to sign the agreement with the US, but it must stop night raids and building parallel institutions in the country. The president assuaged neighbors' concerns over the deal and said Afghanistan saw its national interests in having good relations with them.


CERA researchers are developing a sophisticated surgical device aimed at reducing the number of glaucoma operations.
Glaucoma is typically caused by high intraocular pressure, a result of a blockage in the eye's drainage system.
Glaucoma filtration surgery is generally performed as a last resort, when other therapies to lower the eye's pressure have been exhausted.
Principal Investigator Dr Michael Coote said the drainage device is expected to improve on 40-year-old current surgical methods.
"Glaucoma filtration surgery is a complex operation. Unfortunately complications and excessive scarring can lead to some patients requiring multiple surgeries," Dr Coote said.
According to Dr Coote, the device will resemble a tube and will be fitted comfortably into a sealed pocket under the lid of the eye during surgery.
"We aim to develop a device that mirrors the eye's natural hydraulics," Dr Coote said.
The device is being developed by a team from CERA and the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital.
It's anticipated the device will be trialled in humans at the end of 2012.

The grandest thing about The Grand Design is its title and attractive front illustration. Otherwise, this is a most superficial and preposterous book which certainly adds little to the debate between science and religion, and once again, shows how credentials in science allow anyone to philosophize about the meaning of it all as if their scientific mantle confers a certain 'infalliblity' upon them. As Blavatsky stated in 1888, "in our day, the scientists are even more opinionated than the clergy." Scientists, like Hawking, Sagan and Weinberg, present their own personal biases and dogmas as if based on 'real science,' instead of simply being their own philosophy, and a superficial one at that. The Grand Design provides only glimpses of modern theories in physics and the most preposterous declarations about what they all mean.

Not too bleeping much according to Dr. Holmes, who presents a radical critique of this popular new age movie nightmare.
This new age movie represents a completely erroneous and fanciful understanding of the nature of human beings, and the mysteries of consciousness and the mind. It ignores the most important questions and evidences concerning the issues of consciousness, the heart, spirit and soul, and obscures the truth more than illuminating it. New age concepts are dressed up in a superficial quasi-scientific manner, and huge gaps remain between the quantum world and the world of the psyche or spirit. The movie fosters numerous mis-understandings and confusion, although it certainly has some valuable elements. It begins nicely with the Void, but everything else is downhill.

Come now Graham, are you angling for the US to "take out" Luxembourg as a hot-bed of anti-Americanism?
Not anti-Americanism. As I noted it would be very good for all idf one could get back to the days of peace and growth in the US. More a question of being anti-deflationary, and hence being anti- anything the prime purpose of which is to create and sustain deflation.
The deployment of a forward presence in Northern Australia may be little more than symbolic, but it does generate an "air of cooperation" in the event of potential mayhem in Australasia.
I don't think it is even symbolic of anything significant. The 2,500 men ultimately expected represents the smallest possible self-sufficient American military command, a Marine Expeditionary Unit. It would obviously be of no use in defending Australia, and less useful than it would be anywhere else in the SE Asian region, and no faster to deploy.
I already asked whether the Senate had ratified the treaty.
Look back at the military history of the Darwin area and notice its role as a forward point into the South China Sea. However, there has to be more than meets-the-eye here with respect to the nature of the envisioned "base". After all the nucleus of 250 men highlighting the "Asia-Pacific Summit" hardly constitutes as aggressive a presence as the bases in the Persian Gulf region and little reason exists for considering the effort save in the envisioning of a new "Frankfurt am der Outback"!
Agreed there would have to be something more than meets-the-eye here for it to mean anything, but I don't think there is. Given the current machinations in the Eurozone the reference to a new Frankfurt is apposite (has Australia signed up to continue tax-cutting and cutting goverbment expenditure on US lines somewhere in the wings?) but that's maybe a different topic.

And why may I ask the US "should" defend Australia? With the exception of Israel the US has no perminant allies. The minute Australia becomes such a burden to the US it would be sold just like all the US's other former allies.

I don't make foreign policy for my country. I am only stating what I personally believe my country should do. A nation's sovereignty is probably the most important thing, people die for it. Protecting another nation's sovereignty is called doing the right thing. If you look at U.S. history, we have a bad habit with hurting the sovereignty of other nations, a change would be nice. Look at Libya this year, we aided the rebels in overthrowing a brutal, corrupt regime and the best part was we did not put boots on the ground we let them the people of Libya earn their freedom, all we did was give them a nudge.
When would Australia become a burden for the US? what was the last ally we sold out? South Vietnam? Pakistan? both weren't very good allies anyway and one we should not have even helped.

One hopes. However France and Britain have been publicly committed to first-strike nuclear policies. I don't think anybody knows about China, but planning on a basis of fighting something like WW2 over again doesn't seem very sensible. That's like the regurgitation of the past the French and British expected in 1939/40.
It is a bizarre world that we live in. Here we have the US with tons of nukes and chose not to use them after 9-11 in turning the middle east into a scorched radioactive wasteland. It would have been counter productive for the US to have done so for so many reasons. It would also be extremely counter productive for the Chinese to do the same against the Australians. That is basically why i do not agree with your apocalyptic scenario for Australians cities. There would be no sense in it.
"...the fact is, Asia prefers a return to the U.S. way of peace and growth."
Wouldn't we all, especially the US?
The fact is that the US is going through a period of economic distress (look at the continuing unemployment figures, the housing market, the numbers of welfare recipients, the continuinig drive towards cutting basic civil services...) and simultaneouls overloading itself with an old-fashioned posture of military bullying (coupled with attempts in some places to exert financial bullying) which isn't going anywhere because there's no real place for it to go to.
Oh boy... What are we to expect in a service based economy with a over taxed middle class. Why should unemployment figures change when nothing is being created and businesses are fleeing certain states (Which i have consistently highlighted before and and Steve Jobs himself had confirmed my belief and basically reprimanded Obama for) where it is a burden to operate their business due to high taxation and government regulation.
Let's not even go into the housing market issue where any further discussion turns into the politics of schizophrenia. Barney Frank had admitted that he had over reacted due to his paranoia and political bias. Remember when the creation of welfare was a good thing, that is until the number of recipients outnumbered the ones who pay the taxes and all the rest of the goodies.
And the effort in cutting of basic civil services, from the way i understand it, has to do with the growth of the public service sector and this idea of them having a job for life thanks to their unions, where as the private sector unions could never have cut such a sweet deal for such a length of time. What is a government too say when it is the biggest employer of basic services when it can no longer meet the payroll of those life time employees.
And finally, the nation's military. What the international press understands as bullying, financially or otherwise... i see it as the US trying to meet it's many commitment too it's many allies across the globe, as well as trying too look after it's own interests as best that it can, by the trillions the US has invested around the globe with an eye to profit to all and an increase to the well being and living standards of the countries the US chooses to cooperate closely with. It can't regretfully do that without the military to help look after US interests in a world that is not only still dominated by old cold war rhetoric of socialism versus capitalism, but also new rhetorical propaganda and the divergence of interests between old alliances.
I am not a unilateralist Graham and not by my choice thanks ever since the administration of FDR and the changed circumstances following the second world war, have i had to adopt a multilateralist approach in foreign affairs. I believe in working with our allies and corresponding organizations across the globe in securing a region for today's peace rather than turn our backs on tomorrows possible war. The ironies abound in that as much as i commend President Obama for many of his foreign policy decisions, as well as criticizing him for his mistakes, i feel he is basically correct in trying to refocus our attention away from a Europe that says it can handle it's own problems to a region of a globe where other Asian & South Pacific countries are extremely nervous of the revitalized devil they know, re: China.
Why isn't China entitled to buy what resources it needs from wherever it wants to? Curently it seems readier to offer acceptable deals. Wasn't that the complaint the Japanese lodged against the US pre-1941, and the Kaiser against the British Empire pre-1914 - that they were dominating economically the weaker resource countries, leaving nothing that Germany/Japan could afford?
Again. I reiterate that i am not against the Chinese in securing the resources they need for it's populations sustenance. They are free to compete with other countries, including beating out the US, in getting better deals in resources than what other countries can. That is if they do so in a cooperatively fair way that everyone else with a business sense recognizes.
I don't thnk I could agree more. But who's been doing the 'intimidating, bullying and acting aggressively against another country to get it's way' lately?
Who's threatening to bomb Iran? China?
Ummm... i think the Israelis followed by the Saudis have us beat in that department (Or is it the other way around), that is according to the wikileaks cables that i have read; Though i gather we would more than likely support the two if they chose to follow through in attacking any Iranian plants that have nothing to do with peaceful nuclear use. However, considering European news establishments disdain for the US or it's closer alliance partners, i wouldn't expect you to hold any different a opinion regarding the issue of Iran. As far as i am concerned, i am not in a rush to support any bombing campaign against Iran.
As for China, i am not sure what you mean, but both of us have always been aggressively defensive towards one another ever since the Korean war. Yes, that brief little respite of a kumbaya moment from the 80's was nice while it lasted, but once the Soviet threat was gone, reality intruded once again.

Hmmm...a lot of geopolitics and very little historical perspective with respect to the United States and the Chinese intellectual mindset. Look at it from a historical perspective and the impact of America on China going back to the colonial period and the introduction of silver into Chinese politics. It was only Washington's rejection of Mao as a "Soviet Puppet" that disrupted the traditional affinity between Chinese intellectuals and the United States, which was the actual "model" envisioned by Sun Yat Tzen as the old Chinese class system disintegrated at the opening of the 20th century. There was much more than met the eye when Chou en Lai and Henry the "K" began nuzzling each other in the early 70s, and the subsequent history of China after the advent of Deng turned the Chinese state into a mirror image of the political and diplomatic punting on the Potomac. Think about it and realize that whatver tit-for-tat the diplomats mutter the economic wonks row a markedly different punt.

It would be interesting to see the reaction to a Chinese marine task force being stationed in Venezuela, on the basis that it was an important ally, and US intentions in the region were a cause for anxiety, given past aggressive military moves. The weeping, wailing, and pulling out of six-shooters would be massive.
It's too bad as much effort couldn't be put into enlightened dialogue as is put into moving marines about.

I'm not predicting it, though it isn't impossible, were China to complain sufficient provocation.
Basically I don't see any scenario that will lead to a Chinese attack on Australia, and I certainly cannot see any scenario in which China would be worried about the deployment of a single Marine unit.
I note you agree with me about the current sconomic state of the US, though we may differ I suspect on our assessment of the reasons for it. However that leaves it as something which he administration wishes to divert public attention from. Ancestral voices prophesying war do tend to be heard at time of domestic trouble. Especially with an administration trying to maintain and build up a regime rather more controlling than the US has traditionally been ready to put up with.
I think you're about a generation behind reality, maybe more. For thirty years the rest of the world has been helping the US keep afloat, as US debt zoomed and zoomed. In all that time the only actual threat to the US has come from gangs of essentially crazy individuals.
In the situation we are curretly in what has replaced the old cold war rhetoric you refer to (though I do hear it often enough from US sources still). That's a world-wide conflict between what really boils down to Keynesians and monetarists, with the parallel distinction between those forces that care for the people in general and in only partly economic terms, and those that aredetermined to maintain the power of financial capital, irrespectcive of the cost to others.
But who is to determine what is a "cooperatively fair way that everyone else with a business sense recognizes"? Goldman Sachs? China is in WTO/GATT and follows its rules. The USD has had more trouble with breaking international trade agreements than China has - cf the steel tarifs a few years back.
As for China, i am not sure what you mean,
It was rhetorical. China hasn't been threatening to bomb anyone. There have been a fair number of American politicians discussing a proposal to bomb Iran, possibly through Israel (I don't think I've heard any Saudi sources threatening it. Note that I'm talking about bombing with no actual casus belli, not some country threatening to retaliate if Iran attacks it..
but both of us have always been aggressively defensive towards one another ever since the Korean war. Yes, that brief little respite of a kumbaya moment from the 80's was nice while it lasted, but once the Soviet threat was gone, reality intruded once again.
China today is nothing like the China of the '50s through '60s. 'Reality' is that the Chinese have been beating the US hollow at more or less their own traditional game - mass production industries sheltering behind import limits.

If the U.S. get deeper into economic problems it could finally realize that an important part of its wastes are the security that gaves for free to so many "allies". Just imagine an impoverished superpower that not only has to fight two wars continuosly, but that also must protect: Saudi Arabia, Israel, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, Korea, Australia and many other "allies", and everything for free.
Those countries should pay for the security what it really cost! That way the U.S. would have a surplus rather than a deficit.
Besides, I don't expect China to invade Australia when it is cheaper to buy its resources.

Yes. If the U.S. do so, at least could ballance its budget.
In fact, surprising economical "myracles" such as the German and the Japanese, wouldn't happen without the American free protection, and the military contracts the U.S. gave to those countries.
For instance, Japan development started with military contracts to manufacture supplies for the Korean war.
Unless it was itself a response, of course.
You're quite probably right. However my point was that 2,500 Marines wouldn't make any difference to anything.
Not to the total war scenario which you are imagining.
But the reality in our region is that the vicissitudes of the fortunes of local authorities allow for tactical opportunities to be siezed by a power which is waiting and ready.
A neighbouring country's government collapses into shambles and the new strongman wants to nationalise mines or oil rigs in certain territories owned by Australian and American companies? Deploy marines nearby and 'guarantee the safety' of the site's personnel.
A small Pacific nation accepts a bribe from a larger non-friendly power to use its deep water port to harbour vessels from that country? Conducted a 'training exercise' in international waters near the harbour entrance as a deterrant.
A potentially friendly ethnic group within a larger nonfriendly country takes advantage of their master's political infighting to begin the fight for their independence? Have troops on hand to tip the balance of the conflict and secure for yourself a geopolitically advantageous result.
In these very realistic scenarios 2500 hundred specialist troops can make a decisive difference.
Largely because it has enough in inventory. However it wouod be more tothe point here if the US had agreed in some way or another to guarantee a nuclear shield for Australia. How about a treaty allowing US nuclear submarines to use Australian waters and harbours?
Already in place, the ANZUS treaty covers that.
Even if that were necessarily true, what is significantly different from the situation without this treaty? Have you really been shivering in your socks because the US would not come to the help of an attacked Australia? If you have, what makes signing a treaty any different?
Incidentally, has the Senate ratified the treaty?
Australia is not at risk of attack, no one is scared. For the potential tactical uses I outlined above along with the economic and training benefits, having the 2500 here is better than not.
There was no treaty agreed to here, this is merely an agreement which complies with the terms established in the ANZUS treaty. No ratification is needed.
What worries me is that you think propping up a ring of bases is a better strategy for current circumstances than what China is doing. Especially when the cost, diplomatically and financially and in human terms is so high and the results so disillusioning. It may not be China that is building a ring of bases, but it also isn't China that's in economic distress or gaining a reputation for indiscriminate killing.
Come on now, you and I both know that the maintenance of these bases isn't the cause of the US's economic distress, so let's not call correlation causation.
Let's also not try to put maintenance of bases abroad in the same boat as unilaterally invading another country without a legitimate casus belli. Apples and oranges.

Your are out of date penguin. To begin with, the US establishes its defense budget based on national priorities, not on an altruistic urge to pay other's way. Other nations are not going to subsidize the US in order to pay for their wants and needs, some of which do not coincide with their own. And today some countries that see some benefit from US involvement do in fact pay quite a bit for it. Gulf War 1 may not have happened without substantial financial backing from Germany, Japan, and others.
Captain, it's worth noting that Gulf War 1 had the unhesitating support of pretty well everyone, and moreover in Bush Sr the US had a president more geared to accepting reality. In 1990 Iraq was in evident and flagrant breach of all international law. Support for the war had nothing to do with protection of the countries you mention: in 1990, who was threatening them?

So ypu're saying that what's good about the deal is that it helps Australia bully other smaller countries when it disagrees with their internal affairs?
Not really, actually. Anyway you've now dropped the defensive angle, and are arguing that US support would be useful in aggressive action or in the threat of aggressive action. Also I think you're going beyond the terms of the agreement.
So you like the treaty because you think it will help Australia impose its will on other smaller countries. Isn't that in somewhat flagrant breach of the UN treaties?
If it's already in the treaty I don't see what the point of celebrating now is.
You misread my argument. It's US economic distress that leads the administration to need a flag-waving sound-bite. (Apologies for the mixed metaphor.
But your argument once again assumes Australia taking the offensive. And who's been doing the invading of other countries without a legitimate casus belli this millenium?
Au contraire, China has already changed it's stance with a subtle about face since the US announcement.
I really don' think this announcement is capable of distracting anyone from the economic problems here in the US. No, i think this decision is completely separate from domestic issues and in honoring the ANZUS treaty.
No, that is open free markets and globalization at work. I know you and i will disagree on this issue but, take the US military out of the equation and we essentially will have a greatly destabilized world. Do you really think the other great powers out there would reign themselves in if they were in the mood, in a world that lacks a counter balancing superpower? The threats out there are real and are not limited to gangs of crazy individuals in caves.
I don't think it is as cut and dried as that. There are other factors that drive US foreign policy other than economical reasons as you suggest. I am not alluding to altruism, but geopolitical reality and the multitude of treaties that binds the US with many other countries across the world's regions.
I don't know? It would have used to been referred to the UN, but in the last two or three decades we have seen fall of the UN to a level of irrelevance. That was one of the reason that the previous Bush administration tried to push for reforms at the UN but failed in convincing anyone that there was a grave problem within that August body. Now, instead of the internationally recognized 12 miles limit of a nation's claim to coastal waters, we are seeing the Chinese trying to claim all of the Chinese seas as their own to economically exploit, rather than work with or listen to the opinions of the dozen of other countries rights to the area. The US position has always been clear on this issue, freedom of the seas for everyone. As for steel tariffs, i think it is rather irrelevant as compared to a great power as China and the control of a vital shipping lane and the issue of who controls possibly vast amounts of important resources.
I see. Just because their dialogue amongst themselves hasn't reached us doesn't mean it isn't being discussed right this moment. I mean they aren't really open like Western opinion makers are. On rare occasions, comments from Chinese military brass has been made known to the Western public that aren't exactly reassuring to peaceful cooperation within the region. Granted, it has been noted that there are worrisome differences in opinion between the military and political leadership in securing geopolitical objectives. Now we can agree that China's rise is recent and of an unknown quantity. However, what little that i've seen hasn't been exactly inspiring as i would've hoped.
As for US politicians discussing bombing Iran, not that i am defending their opinions, but you of all people ought to know that there is a world of difference between campaign rhetoric and actual performances in office. Let us hope the same is true for the Chinese!?
Indeed. And yet the US let's the Chinese consistently get away with it. So much for the theory that the US has been bullying the Chinese from a position of military strength.
Darn US imperialists, keeping the Chinese down while sending it's manufacturing capabilities overseas, specifically China and India, with little to no effort at seeking an agreement in lifting import limits. Humph... US bullying indeed!
Most of the countries to our north are larger in terms of population. You might want to ask the people of Timor-Leste whether they considered Australia's intervention 10 years ago to be a case of bullying.
No, you presumed from the outset that I saw the potential of this agreement in purely defensive terms. 2500 troops have both an offensive and defensive potential. And what constitutes offensive and defensive action will differ from one perspective to another.
0 troops have 0 potential, either offensive or defensive.
If applying extra pressure to the military junta in Fiji which overthrew the democratic government and is making overtures to the Chinese to destablise the Pacific, or having a properly equipped force available to stop Indonesian armed militias from massacering Timorese is bullying - then so be it.
On the contrary - implementing an agreement is more important than simply making the agreement. Words are cheap.
Regarding US motivations and sentiments with this move - I totally agree with you.
I've provided examples of the potential uses of military force. Other uses include more altruistic purposes such as applying pressure on juntas like Fiji's to reinstate democracy in accordance with the norms of governance that exist among the Commonwealth nations in the Pacific.
Whether something is taking the offensive or not depends on an understanding of the situation at hand.
US troops have been here stationed at Pine Gap, and the Harold E Holt radar station in northern Western Australia since 2008 (this was actually a much bigger and more significant development than the one which just occurred, the one which just happened is - as you say - more for US audiences to be happy with Obama). If you can find me any examples of how the US presence and cooperation with Australian forces has resulted in offensive action in violation of the UN within Australasia, I would love to review it.
My point here was merely that the notion of the US spending billions to defend others, thereby wrecking their own economy, is simply not so. Countries with a large US troop presence have been paying for quite some time. Others, like say Saudi Arabia, pay the US billions for arms, helping to support that industry. Germany and Japan were not directly threatened, but contributed to what seemed like a reasonable effort to stablize a critical region of the world. The US would have taken a huge financial hit if they, and others, had not.
Sometimes US foreign policy is happily received by others, sometimes not so much. Many US allies were aghast at the Vietnam debacle. Iraq 2 was also seen as a big mistake by major US supporters. It is ridiculous to suggest that other major nations chip in to the US defense budget while these sorts of adventures are ongoing. The US needs to get its own house in order, and curb the defense budget, lobbyists or no, and bring it down to a sane level of spending. One that meets possible threats, yes, but today $700 billion threats are remote and unlikely.

There's actually no point taking out Sydney, Melbourne or Perth. I was thinking about this the other day, you'd actually want to take out Adelaide, Canberra, Bungendore, Townsville, Wagga and Darwin. In fact, holding Adelaide alone would almost be enough to hold the country. These are all places that are exceedingly difficult to get to for a hostile military. Your airforce and army are rendered useless due to distance, and you'd have to park your navy in hostile oceans with very exposed supply lines.
2500 marines aren't going to make much of a difference. Except that it means that when Darwin is bombed (which is of course the first and only place anyone can reach with a bomber) they'd be killed, which would immediately ensure American involvement. Therefore they seem to be a good strategic asset, besides, as I understand it they're only here on R&R.

That's the real reason why this is important, and that's the sole reason Australia follows the US around in its wars. No-one is completely conviced that the US would show up.
Not sure, but both the Government and Opposition would support it so it'd easily pass.
It is a bizarre world that we live in. Here we have the US with tons of nukes and chose not to use them after 9-11 in turning the middle east into a scorched radioactive wasteland. It would have been counter productive for the US to have done so for so many reasons. It would also be extremely counter productive for the Chinese to do the same against the Australians.
That's a very key and important point that everyone always ignores in threads about Australia's security.
The Chinese will never attack Australia. We'll sell them whatever they want, we're outside their sphere of influence, and don't share a border. In 3000 years of Chinese History they have never done anything that could pose a threat.
Neither would Indonesia ever attack Australia. The Javanese and recently the Dutch have had 10,000 years to do so and have never been the slightest bit inclined. The only country that would, or could possibly attack Australia would be an expansionist, over-populated power with complete Naval Supremecy, plenty of paitence, and massive technological Superiority - ie, the British Empire.
The only forseeable way Australia would be involved in a serious war would be if China attack Taiwan or Vietnam and dragged the whole region into a massive war. In that case, and in pretty much all cases, Darwin becomes a base to defend Indonesia & Malaysia. Which is exactly what happened in WW2. Considering how interlinked economies are in Asia I can't see a war happening unless the US started it.

what do you guys make of this??

Hi General, if you think about it, Australia is our next closest ally after Israel. We have been shoulder to shoulder with them since WW1. They are no fair weather ally. Despite the unpopularity of the war they were with is all through the pain and mud of Vietnam. General Westmoreland said "the average Australian private would be an NCO in any other army in the world." I don't know what's in the water over there, but they are superb soldiers. Like it or not China will become a threat to their security, or could be.
May you live as long as you want to,

Could you please clarify what you mean by that?

" Who's threatening to bomb Iran? China?"
That's not a threat. It's a promise.

Captain Vancouver: Sometimes US foreign policy is happily received by others, sometimes not so much. Many US allies were aghast at the Vietnam debacle...
Well, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, the Republic of China (Taiwan), and the Philippines were definitely not aghast, and provided small contingents of their own. (South Korea's was the largest, at 2 Infantry Divisions, and Marine Brigade, and Air Force and Naval contingents. France, some certainly were, but they had far greater internal problems that occupied the public's attention. Germany, some yes, some decidedly no.)
For all: Consider the possibility that this move may be a precursor to a coming reallignment of U.S. Forces in the Pacific. In Okinawa, there is constant pressure upon the Japanese government to winkle more military areas away from the Americans. Within Japan itself there are a number of bases currently occupied by the U.S. as part of the U.N. mission in Korea. The U.N Command formed in the 1950 still exists, and U.S. Forces in Japan and Korea are a component of that command. When Korea reunifies, the U.S. will no longer have the writ to occupy those bases as part of the U.N. Command. Add to that the pressure on local Japanese governments to take back some of those lands for civilian uses, and you can see that our presence in Japan will also be reduced sometime in the future. My own judgment, based upon nearly seven years residence in Korea is that once Korea reunifies, by whatever means, the U.S. will find itself being politely shuffled to the departure gate. That leaves the Philippines, already proven untrustworthy, and such small islands as Guam. Given those real possibilities, if the U.S. is to retain a meaningful presence in the Pacific, which American planners see as contributing to the stability that the East Asian region has known over the past 60 years, Australia's Northern Territory begins looking quite desirable.

Iran to India: Travel to the Places Inspired by One Thousand and One Nights
Feb. 15, 2018 Inspiration
The One Thousand and One Nights are a collection of classic tales of love and adventure with genies, magical lamps, villains, and heroes. These stories were compiled over centuries and span many countries like India and Egypt, mostly in the Middle East and Asia. Aladdin, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and Sinbad the Sailor are all stories that have lasted through the ages and have inspired Ker & Downey to compile a list of some of the places that are featured in these time honored tales.
Places Inspired by One Thousand and One Nights
Many of the stories find their source in ancient Persia. The original tale starts with Scheherazade, who went to a king and told him stories every night, in hopes that he would spare her life. One thousand and one nights later, he made her his queen. Today the written word is still celebrated in Iran and the beauty of this country has inspired writers and poets like Hafez, whose tomb in Shiraz is still frequently visited by people wanting inspiration from his words about love and the divine.
The land of the Pharaohs has frequently served as a muse for writers, and this is where a 9th century papyrus containing fragments of the Arabian Nights stories was found. In Cairo, visit the narrow lanes of the Khan al-Khalili market, dating back to the 14th century, where gold merchants and copper smiths sell their wares. This might be the place to find Aladdin's enchanted lamp.
The Three Princes and the Princess Nouronnihar is a story set in India about a sultan with three sons who wanted to marry a princess. India has a rich history of royalty and opulent palaces, some of which have been converted into hotels. Visit the Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur, where guests can live like a king for the duration of their stay.
Sinbad the Sailor's sixth voyage takes him to Sri Lanka where he said there were "diamonds in the rivers and pearls in the valleys." This is a treasure trove of immeasurable natural beauty, from its lush tropical jungles and peaks, to its wildlife reserves filled with elephants, leopards, and birds.
Grand Bazaars, soaring domed places of worship, and glittering palaces once inhabited by sultans will all take you back in time. It is easy to imagine the colorful characters of One Thousand and One Nights living in the beautiful city of Istanbul.
There are only a small handful of surviving manuscripts of these stories, and they are all written in a Maghribi script that originated in North Africa. Morocco is a place of spices, Moorish architecture, and magical cities like Marrakesh and Fez. It is easy to imagine how the bustling and colorful souks, brilliant mosaic-covered buildings, and mysterious sands here inspired the writers to tell their tales.

At Pusatier Sherman Abbott & Sugarman LLP, we understand how difficult it is to go through a divorce. You're fighting with someone you once loved, stressed about a blurry future, and struggling to get through day to day life without worry etched all over your face. Instead of worrying about a potential trial, you should consider hiring a divorce mediation attorney. An excellent mediation lawyer in Orchard Park, NY, is the difference between a divorce that only takes a few months and one that drags on for years.
A mediation lawyer is an unbiased third party that comes into a divorce and attempts to get both parties to come to a mutually beneficial agreement - without resorting to trial. Think of them as your guide through this trying time - they'll be able to provide quality advice and keep the divorce moving forward in a productive manner. As they have no affiliation with either spouse, a mediation lawyer will be able to ensure a healthy and productive experience. Ultimately, you and your spouse will be in control of your own fates - you won't be leaving it up to the court to decide who gets what.
What Can a Divorce Mediation Attorney Do?
Your mediation lawyer's primary objective will be to help you and your spouse find common ground - what can you two agree on when it comes to this divorce? From that starting point, they will help you negotiate through the rest of the divorce. If you have children, this is critical, as you and your spouse will be able to decide what's best for them, rather than leaving it in the hands of a judge, who may not do what either of you want.
Your divorce mediation lawyer will also ensure that there is complete transparency between you and your spouse. They will require you both to disclose all assets, debts, income, and current payments. At the same time, that transparency comes with a measure of privacy you won't find during a trial - any dirty laundry won't be aired in front of a court room. Mediation takes place completely behind closed doors.
When you contact Pusatier Sherman Abbott & Sugarman LLP, we'll offer you a free consultation to find out if mediation is for you. Give us a call, or contact us online, and we'll help start you on your way towards recovery.

When the Nation Catches Up
As COVID-19 Forces Big Players to Telehealth, Rural Healthcare Providers Benefit
Author: Pam Malinoski
When most people think of healthcare leadership, cutting-edge technologies, and medical developments, they probably think of the major hospitals and university-based healthcare systems. However, when it comes to telehealth technologies, many of the rural hospitals and healthcare facilities started before the big players.
Rural healthcare providers have struggled for years to provide better access to a wide variety of specialists as well as to doctors in short supply. This is a significant challenge for providers who are often serving a far-flung patient population. As a result, many rural healthcare systems started years ago, at least at some level, with telemedicine offerings. Technology allowed general practice doctors or emergency room staff to connect to specialists at larger hospitals hours away, providing higher quality, local-based services.
National Acceptance Helps Rural Provider Expand
McKenzie County Healthcare Systems, based in Watford City, North Dakota, was one such provider.
"We've actually been utilizing telehealth technology in a smaller capacity for five to seven years," said Sam Perry, director of operations at McKenzie County Healthcare Systems. "It was really helpful to us when the rest of the country finally got on board during the COVID-19 pandemic. Insurance providers are reimbursing for more telehealth services as a result, which means that more specialists are willing to jump on the bandwagon. For us, that means we can access more specialist care for our patients. We already have the training, infrastructure, and staff to be able to grow with those needs now."

A Big, Positive Effect on Local Families
McKenzie County Healthcare Systems offers several services to children and families that use telehealth technology. "Our closest pediatric endocrinologist is six hours away," Perry said. "In the winter, those roads can be dangerous or closed altogether. The fact that parents can connect to the doctor by phone is a huge win for local families. Our community is suffering from an economic downturn as the industry here is heavily oil and gas. Parents can't afford to take time off of work, usually at least one or two days, to get that care for their children.
"As the larger healthcare system as a whole is more accepting of telehealth, there's a trickle down effect," Perry said. "Our patients can now get the treatment they need closer to home and to their family. They are much happier and recover faster."
Perry recalls one pre-teenage patient who was suffering from some health issues that turned into an eating disorder. "The closest specialist was in Bismarck, which is three hours away," Perry said. "By using telehealth, she was able to connect from here remotely three days per week. This individual has graduated from treatment and is now functioning well in the local school system."

Telehealth Provides Immediate Triage in Emergency Situations
Another way that McKenzie County Healthcare Systems has benefited from telehealth technologies is in providing better emergency care.
"We're a level five trauma center, and we usually have only one board-certified ER provider available at any given time," Perry said. "Telehealth helps connect that ER doctor or ER nurse with a level one trauma center provider when needed. This has been especially helpful with stroke care, COVID care, and deep lacerations from vehicle accidents in particular.
"We chose not to accept acute COVID cases at our facility during the pandemic due to resource issues," Perry continued. "However, if a COVID patient came in, we could immediately triage the individual, talk with a pulmonologist via telehealth, and determine medication, treatment, or care during transport. By the time triage was completed, life flight or transport was ready, and that patient was set up for a greater chance at a successful recovery."


Princess Charlene of Monaco shared on her Instagram account a new photo of her twins, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques with the message "It's starting to look a lot like Christmas, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella December 2017".
In addition, on December 9, 2017, when Prince Albert of Monaco and Princess Charlene of Monaco attended the opening of traditional Christmas Market 2017, their twins, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques were with them.
They are completely adorable and uniquely combine their parents and grandparents -- I just don't know what else to say. LOVE!!
Gabriela has damaged her right eye.
The first Christmas photo is wonderful!
First time I have ever seen Jacques smile 😊 it really changes his face! They are both so cute!
Agree with Diane and Pine. Two wonderful children and yes LOVE.
I'll say it again: Gabriella is going to be a real beauty.
It is hard to believe that they are three years old. Both are gorgeous.
'Small cuties'! Both have inherited clear genes from their grandparents: Jacques most from Prince Rainier and Gabriella after both PR and Grace Kelly.
Please, don't cut Gabriella's hair any more. I see a lot of Grace Kelly in her.
Gabriella looks so much like her grandmother Grace.
Absolutely! What a joyous, sweet smile that is!
I wish kate and william didnt keep their kids too hidden, they are mostly seen abroad sad!!

From Vulture.com:
Tell me the story of how you connected with Carly Rae Jepsen.
I met Carly through [PC Music's] Danny L Harle because they did a song together. We were in L.A. and they had this PC Music night, which was pretty wild, actually. But Carly came with her parents [laughs], so we were all watching the show together. It was funny: Carly and her parents at this one table, me and all my friends at one table, then Tinashe and all her friends at another table. We were a gang. But I met Carly and her parents, and they were so sweet and obviously I'd been a fan. I have a lot of friends who've worked with her — Rostam, Ariel [Rechtshaid] — and since then, we kept bumping into each other. My friend and close collaborating partner Noonie Bao had been writing with her a lot and Patrick Berger as well, who I work with a lot. I went over to Carly's house for some party that she had and we just connected.
We spoke about this tweet that had gone viral of a picture of me, her, and Lorde. Our fans wanted us to make a song together. Then we got drunk and spoke about all these ideas we had about making a whole album together. One day, she was in the studio with my friend Justin Raisen, and I went down there. They had been partying and we were just gonna have a jam session, but she's really fun as a person, and she has so many ideas and is a really creative and wonderful songwriter. So when I did this mixtape, I hit her up, saying, "Is this the time?" And she said yes, so I sent her the song ["Backseat"] and she was into it, wrote her verse, came back to me, and I loved it.
Are you involved in her next album?
I went to one session, but I got there really late at midnight, and I guess everyone had been partying. So I wasn't really on their wavelength. We recorded vocals for like an hour, just a constant flow of craziness. I don't think she's gonna use that publicly, but it was fun. I would love to work on stuff for her. –Dee Lockett
